-Lyrics

You’re the night, LilahA little girl lost in the woodsYou’re a folktaleThe unexplainableYou’re a bedtime storyThe one that keeps the curtains closedI hope you’re waiting for me‘Cause I can’t make it on my ownI can’t make it on my own

It’s too dark to see the landmarksAnd I don’t want your good luck charmsI hope you’re waiting for meAcross your carpet of starsYou’re the night, LilahYou’re everything that we can’t seeLilahYou’re the possibility

You’re the bedtime storyThe one that keeps the curtains closedAnd I hope you’re waiting for me‘Cause I can’t make it on my ownI can’t make it on my own

Unknown the unlit world of oldYou’re the sounds I’ve never heard beforeOff the map where the wild things growAnother world outside my doorHere I stand I’m all aloneDriving down the pitch black roadLilah you’re my only homeAnd I can’t make it on my own

You’re a bedtime storyThe one that keeps the curtains closedI hope you’re waiting for me‘Cause I can’t make it on my ownI can’t make it on my own
